SPEAKER

Shawn speaks on topics focused on individual, leadership, and cultural development. He is skilled and personable and his desire is to help men and women advance their lives and careers with practical knowledge and insight.  His talks challenge his audiences to think more deeply and see more clearly while simultaneously validating the truth of their lived experiences.  Shawn approaches his topics in unique ways that provide his listeners with resources they can refer to again and again.  More than inspirational, his talks are transformational.

In addition to his development talks, Shawn is an expert on fraud prevention.  He serves as the state director for a Medicare senior advocacy program and manages a team of more than a hundred paid and volunteer staff who provide fraud education and outreach services to seniors, their family members, and caregivers.  He’s given talks nationally that highlight ways individuals can prevent, detect, and report various types of fraud.  Shawn's work has inspired him to write 101 Fraud Tips, a resource designed to help seniors understand common fraud tactics and take steps to protect themselves from scammers.
